Don’t leave home without winter road pack

WHETHER YOU’RE driv-
ing a short distance, or going
on a long trip, just in case
winter lets loose with all its
fury, be ready.

Pack up a winter road kit
and make sure it’s in your
car at all times from now
until spring.

A road kit should include:

1. A working flashlight.
And check it periodically to
make sure the battery is still
working. The only thing

winter road is being stuck on
a winter road without @
light.

2. Road maps. Especially
if you’re on less travelled or
unfamiliar roads a lot during
winter.

3. A shovel and sand.
These can make all the dif-
ference between being really
stuck in the snow and being
briefly stuck in the snow.

4. Ice scraper and brush.

And use them before you
drive away. Don't count on
your defroster to clear the
windows after you start driv-
ing.

5. Booster cables. These
can save you a lot of time
and let you help out other
motorists as well. Make sure
you understand how to con-
nect and use them — ask any
service station attendant if
you are unsure.

6. First aid kit.
idea at all times.

7. Road flares or warning
lights. If you do get stuck or
have to pull over, these let
other motorists and service
vehicles know where you are
so they can avoid, or find,
you more easily.

8. Extra clothing and
foutwear. Make sure if you
do have to get out of your
vehicle in bad weather, you

can be protected. An old ski
jacket and rubber boots can
make you much more com-
fortable in snow or on ice.

9. Some _ high-calorie,
non-perishable food. Like
chocolate, or raisins. If you
do get caught on the road
and have to wait for
assistance, you won't go
hungry. This is particularly
important for drivers on
restricted and special diets.

10. Coins. At least enough
for a telephone call.

11. Telephone numbers.
Of people to call in case of
emergency. This is a good
idea at all times, not just
during the winter.

Take a few simypie precait-
tions, and whether you have
to use your winter road kit
or not, you'll know you're
prepared for bad weather
driving.

about $20,000. So does the
Chrysier LeBaron convert-
ible which has very pleasing
styling for under $25,000.

As mentioned, the Mazda
Miata sports car offers
traditional two-seater, top-
down fun siarting at
318,000.

For approximately
$27,000, the Ford Thunder-
bird Super Coupe with a
supercharged V6 engine and
aggressive styling offers a lot
of performance and image
for the buck. Same goes for
the more conservative-look-
ing Taurus SHO.

The Acura Legend Coupe
(built by Honda) is gaining
in prestige with its unique
styling and reputation for
réliability. Price is about

,000.

A Yuppie favorite, the
BMW 325 series, (including
a convertible model and the
racy M3), have instant
prestige appeal ranging from
$33,000 to $57,000. BMW’s
larger models offer plenty of
status too, but prices start at
$50,000.

A car that you don’t see
too often is the two-seater
Buick Reatta. A new con-
vertible version of this car
will be arriving in 1990 and
it looks exceptionally good.
Price should be around
$40,000.

I think Toyota’s new ‘Fer-
rari-like’ MR2 sports car will
also hit a chord.

But remember, with the
money you pay for one
prestigious luxury
automobile, you could buy
an economy car cor every
member of your family, or a
nice compact car and a pret-
ty big term deposit, or a lot
of other useful things.

It all depends on how well
you want your gas station
attendant to treat you.

Royal GM may have closed its doors but the same protes-
sional service you've come to know and appreciate has
re-opened. With over 100 years ut combined training these
factory-trained technicians can service all your domestic
and import cars and light trucks. Call for an appointment.
You'll be glad you did.
